We're not even close to done gagging on Angelina Jolie's Maleficent eleganza, but the fairy-tale revamps keep on coming: Indiewire has announced Sofia Coppola plans to direct a live-action version of the beloved Hans Christian Anderson classic The Little Mermaid.

Edward Scissorhands writer Caroline Thompson is attached to the project, but will it stay closer to the original tragic tale or follow Disney's sugary storyline? Given Coppola directed downer fare like the Virgin Suicides, we'd guess the former.

This would be a radical departure for the Bling Ring and Marie Antoinette director, and Coppola's first time working with a considerable special-effects team.  But who should be cast as the titular chick? We're thinking Chloe Moretz would do just fine.
